ok, i know i'm about to embarrass myself by asking this but it's
been a while since i've manually installed a package and i've
forgotten the details.
freshly-flashed linksys WRT54GL with 8.09, scp'ed the appropriate
"tcpdump" .ipk package file over into /tmp, now i just want to use
"opkg" to install it, but the issue is that the rootfs is marked
read-only and completely full:
# df
FS 1Ks Used Avail Use Mounted at
rootfs 1600 1600 0 100% /
/dev/root 1600 1600 0 100% /rom
...
/dev/mtdblock3 1408 220 1188 16% /jffs
mini-fo:/jffs 1600 1600 0 100% /
#
obviously(?), i want to install into the jffs filesystem, taking
advantage of the overlay filesystem, but what's the proper way to do
that? should i use the "-d" option of opkg, after adding the
appropriate entry to /etc/opkg.conf?
i also vaguely remember the notion of adding an "option
overlay_root" directive to /etc/opkg.conf. so what's the right way to
do this? thanks.

p.s. i'm assuming that i'm trying to install into the writable free
space in the jffs2 filesystem, i just need the right incantation that
gets it there, at which point the overlay filesystem will kick in and
tcpdump will appear to have been installed relative to the root,
right?
